BSBI Survey 2
 2002 BSBI Survey

On 4th July, 2005 a return visit was made by Dr. McPherson - the county BSBI Recorder.
Recorders are authorised to identify and record all plants as part of the ongoing monitoring done by the Botanical Society of the British Isles.

42 species were confirmed, as in addition to the 134 species officially recorded in June, 2002.

In keeping with BSBI practice, plants are listed alphabetically by their scientific names.
(N.B. plants identified by both the official survey and the school's project have clickable buttons.)
